Anoop Patel, Mario Suvà, Shawn Gillespie with Itay Tirosh from the Regev lab and co-authors have described in new detail tumor heterogeneity in primary glioblastoma. The study, published this week in Science, shows the diverse set of transcriptional profiles that are present in primary tumors. The Boston Globe featured the study and brings it to … Continued

Mario Suvà, Esther Rheinbay, Shawn Gillespie, and Anoop Patel from this lab and colleagues have discovered a set of key transcription factors underlying glioblastoma stem-like cells. From the Broad blog: Glioblastoma, the most common and most aggressive form of brain cancer in adults, remains effectively incurable. Evidence suggests that “stem-like” cells help drive this difficult-to-treat … Continued

Another exciting addition to the group: Ik-Soo Kim! He joins us from the Baek laboratory in the School of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University, South Korea.

Esther, Mario, Shawn and coauthors published their work on “An aberrant transcription factor network essential for Wnt signaling and stem cell maintenance in glioblastoma” in Cell Reports. Another success for Team GBM.
